Hi I have permission to repost this verbatim from the owner of the website. I am just trying to figure out the licensing. Does this come from them? is is on their website? I was helping them figure it out. I figured out the CC license but not the GNU. Is that just the html and inputting info within the code or does the document need to be registered somewhere? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ceciwrites (talk • contribs) 18:41 4 December 2021 (UTC) ‎
 * Hi . These questions have been answered at Wikipedia:Teahouse, but basically it is the copyright holder that is going to need to change the licensing on their website to a license that Wikipedia accepts if they want the content to be OK to use on Wikipedia. However, even if they did decide to do such a thing, most of the content found on external websites is written in a tone that is way too promotional for Wikipedia purposes which means it almost certainly would need to be completely re-written in a more neutral manner for any of it to be OK to use. Even then, most likely only a few small quotes would be considered OK to use and there would be pretty much no way to post large blocks of content from the website verbatim on any Wikipedia page. Unfortunately, you seem to have been asked to do something by people who don't really understand what Wikipedia is at all, and what they've asked you to do is pretty much never going to be allowed under any circumstances. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:20, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
